AmmarServer began as a small sockets project back on 2004 , its main use back then was a portable executable that could serve static files between different machines without having to set up shares on different Operating Systems and network topologies..

Needless to say despite having "my own" webserver I always used Apache , MySQL and PHP as infrastructure for serious web-development work and it served me well .. until I started working on embedded systems.. The Apache web server is a wonderful piece of software with a very large collection of plugins and modules and a huge piece of the internet gets served by it every day, it is robust , well documented and it is secure.. But beeing big and complex means requiring a very large deployment payload and using PHP ( or any other interpreted language ) with it is a heavy task for the host computer especially when this computer doesnt have many computing resources. The picture gets even worse when services like Wordpress which have thousands lines of code generate dynamic content .. The delays sum up and this leads to a very bad user experience while accessing and browsing the site..
